Mr John M Rockafäller's affumpt to prove that he is doucended frome t that Duks of Clarenes who is popularly rúpposed to have been drowned in a butð-ul Malmsag is ouusing some American“ newspapers to hong ridicule on the oil king. They any fhabir 160-gunesingist who supplied the millionaire with his family tree is correct ananasstress of Mr Rockefeller's must have" bean marries before she wsa tun, and had har first child before she was elavan, and they seem to think that this justifies them in laughing as the millionaire's claim to roya descent. This is rather hard on Mir Rockefeller. Americans goverally have an absolute passion for pedigress, and in Booking to show that ho comes of royal | stock ha is only doing what thousands of his fellow countrymen have done. Mazy Americans who proudly boast of distinguishe ed ancestry bare far more serious Hawa in their lines of descent than the difficulty which confrente-Ir-Rockefeller Theiz.. family trees pass unquestioned, because they are not so well known. The millionaire is suffering through the fierce light which beats upon an oil king's throne.

Oncis he has made his pile the democratic American of to-day is anxious to establish his pedigres. Having made a fortune, he wants a family tree. This domand bas led to regular trade in pedigrees between England and America. Thate aro people ord bore who make it their business to trace the ancestry of Americans.

They huet up family bletaries in the British Museum and travel to various parts of the country to make extracts from parish registers. And, since the buyers are engor to have their descent established and are willing to pay bandsomely for noble for bears, the searcher, naturally looks with a lenient oye upon such slight difficulties as that discovered in Mr Rockefeller's list of Ancestors.
